If something a little different and very eye-catching is what you are after, consider the Greenwich collection. These tree grates have the narrow slot openings and the visual appeal that many architects now seek in their landscape designs. If you don't see the size you want, give us a call.

The Majestic tree grate collection was put together to address situations concerning large diameter tree trunks. Larger tree openings, expandability and narrow slot openings make these a great choice for palms and other mature trees.

Our most popular concept, the Metropolitan tree grate collection provides narrow slot openings, an eye-appealing pattern and is available in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. Don't see exactly what you want? Give us a call!

Developed specifically for use in an existing paved area, the Retrofit tree grate collection is a popular alternative to poured-in-place grates. Level concrete can simply be cut to the necessary opening size. The overlapping edge covers any minor irregularities in the cut.

Neenah's tree grate frames are designed to make the installation job easy and accurate. Our frames can be incorporated into your forms in just minutes. The seat of the frame should be cleaned prior to setting the grate. Grate halves are to be bolted together on the underside using the bolt slots provided.

When planting trees in urban settings, one must provide enriched soil, proper drainage and a means of providing water and air to the roots for proper tree development.

Arborists encourage use of the largest tree pit possiblein response, Neenah offers our EXTENDED collection to meet this growing need.

Neenah Tree Grates can provide the means of getting the proper moisture and air to the roots for a healthy, long-lived specimen. No typical tree pit works for all situations. Urban designers must develop tree pits for each unique site. Soil scientists, arborists and urban foresters can provide valuable assistance when dealing with the following sub-surface conditions: aeration, drainage, irrigation and feeding, enriched soil, methods of flushing salts and/or avoiding their accumulation and methods of minimizing future soil compaction.

Lighting
Trees are beautiful in daylight yet in the darkness of the night they become shapeless and non-descript. Extend their natural beauty through the hours of darkness with tree grate illumination. Most Neenah Tree Grates can be made with removable light-opening sections so that sub-grade lighting units can be easily installed. All light-opening sections are secured with countersunk screws to prevent unauthorized removal.

Does your company have a corporate insignia or municipal logo that you would like to incorporate into your architectural designs or construction project? Neenah Foundry has the ability to take your concepts and recreate them through Sidewalk Medallions, Tree Grate Logos and Custom Manhole Covers. This is a great opportunity to tie together a common municipal or corporate theme.

Most tree grate units are furnished standard with four inconspicuous guard lugs on the underside to facilitate attachment of tree guards.

Neenah Tree Guards are manufactured from hot rolled, pickled and oiled mild steel in the five standard illustrated styles. Guards are designed to be attached in four places to bolting lugs which are integrally cast to the underside of the tree grate.

The design and engineering that goes into our valves and gates is second to none. Whether you're looking for flap gates, drainage gates, shear gates or pressure relief valves, it's likely we have the exact casting you need. And if not, our pattern shop can make it for you.

Neenah Foundry's new line of tough, durable site furnishings are just as strong as the municipal products you know us for, with a sustainable visual aesthetic befitting an artist. Our lineup of site furnishings includes park benches, picnic tables, bollards, tree grates and bike racks. And because they're from Neenah, you know they're built in the foundry America has trusted for over 144 years.

If you happen to glance down as you're crossing the street in your neighborhood or town, it's likely you'll step across a Neenah Foundry manhole cover. There are literally millions of our flagship products in towns all across the country. We manufacture cast iron manhole frames and covers in a variety of sizes, shapes and cover designs. Our pattern shop can even create a custom "logo lid" for your city or neighborhood.

Neenah Foundry now brings you the next generation in manhole covers, the Camlift. This means no more dead lifting covers that are too heavy, and helps reduced the time lost to job injuries. Camlift utilizes ductile iron to meet the load bearing capabilities required for airport and port conditions.

The patent-pending LiftMate Hinge System eases operation and access while virtually eliminating many of the traditional hazards of working with manhole and grate covers. The LiftMate Hinge System uses a controlled motion pivot to help protect against excess strain and on-the-job injuries.

Adjusting rings (or extension rings, as they are sometimes called) eliminate the necessity of raising or replacing existing manhole frames on resurfacing projects. The cover recess is the same depth and diameter as the existing manhole frame. Amount of raise coincides with thickness of resurfacing material, thereby bringing the manhole lid to new position flush with refinished roadway surfaces.

Neenah's Cast Iron Slotted Vane Drain offers ease of installation along with the superior vaned configuration to capture previously unexpected quantities of water when placed perpendicular to the flow. Installation is accomplished by sawing a slot in the top of conventional PVC pipe, placing the pipe on grade, installing the Cast Iron Slotted Vane Drain in place and pouring the concrete. When used in conjunction with a vane grate inlet, virtually all of the water in the street, which would normally bypass the catch basin, can be captured. This permits the spacing between inlets to be increased. An additional benefit is the added safety factor obtained should the catch basin be plugged or covered with snow. The unit may also be installed wherever sheet flow capture is required.

The Modified Manning Equation is used to calculate flow velocities and volume (in cubic feet per second or cfs). This information is vitally important when selecting a grate type and size for a given project.

The Weir and Orifice Calculator is used to determine the inlet capacity in sag (ponding) conditions by use of the Weir and Orifice equations. Knowing this information will allow you to select the proper grate type and size for your specific job or project.

DETECTABLE WARNING PLATE - RADIUS CALCULATOR
Instructions:
To determine the number of plates needed, an arc length and a radius are needed. If the arc length is unknown, use the calculator to determine it by entering the radius and chord.

The curb opening calculation is a program that will calculate the capacity of a curb opening on grade conditions, and will determine the length to capture a percentage of flow. This calculation is not to be used in conjunction with the modified Manning calculations for inlet grates.

The following table lists the Neenah catalog designs furnished with grates. In addition to the free opening areas which are necessary to determine the discharge, the tables also show the grate type or style which are shown below for easy identification.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 was enacted to stimulate the American economy by supporting American jobs. A "Buy American" provision in the Act mandates that "none of the funds ... made available by this Act may be used for a ... public building or public work unless all of the iron, steel, and manufactured goods used in the project are produced in the United States." Millions of Americans such as those working at Neenah Foundry's seven manufacturing plants rely upon this stimulus funding to protect their jobs and their families.
